Part of me just wants to find a cannon timeline and work my way from beginning to end. Then the sane part of me realized that I am in grad school and don't have time to read what is most likely 98% trash, if the old EU is any barometer for quality in Star Wars material.

The problem for the old EU was they had huge series like The New Jedi Order. Which had nearly 20 books and so many authors who had deadlines of a few months, So there was no consistency from one book to another.

The best books were always the ones that were written by the same author over a single book or a trilogy.

I always found njo worth it... It was long and some books were better than others but it was always interesting and new to the star wars universe

By CaviarGo To PostWhich of the canon comics would you folks recommend? Would mostly be interested in story between RotJ and TFA, I suppose. Or maybe some good Obi-wan material in case that movie project never happens.

This would be helpful too. Canon list on wiki threw me for a loop haha

Traitor was great, though. Matt Stover, in general, was pretty great. His Revenge of the Sith novel was so good. I loved the intro for it.

This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it.It is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice and the death of dreams. It is a story of the blurred line between our best and our worst.It is the story of the end of an age.A strange thing about stories—Though this all happened so long ago and so far away that words cannot describe the time or the distance, it is also happening right now. Right here.It is happening as you read these words.This is how twenty-five millennia come to a close. Corruption and treachery have crushed a thousand years of peace. This is not just the end of a republic; night is falling on civilization itself.This is the twilight of the Jedi.The end starts now.

Call me simple, but that really got me into the book.

By spiderzGo To PostCan anyone lend credence to Lost Stars being good?
